Wait List!?!?! Please explain!!

[libbyandblue]

Just found out that my sister wasn't balloted from Oatridge, but she is on the wait list? Please explain!! I really hope she isn't out!!

waitlist is a reserve list for balloted riders - it is usually listed in alphabetical order of the horse's name.

when someone who hasn't been balloted withdraws, they are replaced with someone from the waitlist

Ok thanks, that sucks

my sister is at the bottom of the list? does that mean she will be last to be picked?

 

[bogpony]

no not necessarily, they are just ordered alphabetically for bdwp, but that doesn't mean its the order they will slot in

 

[libbyandblue]

ok thanks, so is there no paticular order that people will be re-entered if you know what i mean?! When is the latest we will know? As we may have to book stabling, im doing the pre-novice but im still in, and we dont want to book stables late and not be able to go etc etc.

If you get stuck you can always stable with me! My girls will be out, I'm about 25 minutes drive with the trailer - not as close as some, but the offer is there if you need it. Dad and Sue are going to be about I think.

Really hope she gets in - I want to see Giddy play

. Can you offer up a helper for the event? That usually helps?

 

[libbyandblue]

Thanks very much!! That would be great, i think its only about 2.5, 3 hours away but if we're on at 9, its a very early start! We all want to see Giddy play too! we could offer to help, thats a good idea! i will suggest that to her!

No worries - just let me know nearer the time. You just have a little box, don't you? I don't have loads of room in the yard, but a small lorry (no bigger than Sue's one) is fine.

I am planning on taking my baby horse to ride around and see the sights - but right now she is lame on at least 3 legs - hmmm. Not looking terribly likely at this rate

 

[libbyandblue]

Oh no! What happened? Yup its just a 3.5tonne

Thanks so much!
